Uncertain what wines to serve with your Holiday meals? Christopher Sagadin, a wine steward at Yoke's Fresh Market in West Richland, suggests in this video (from The Wine Knows) various Northwest wines to pair with both turkey and red meat dinners.
Here are a few of Christopher's top picks:
With Turkey:
Upland Estates Gewurztraminer, 2006 Yakima Valley (we had a Gewurztraminer with our Thanksgiving dinner; it's delicious with turkey!)
Thurston Wolfe PGV, Horse Heaven Hills/Yakima Valley 2007 52% Viognier, 43% Pinot Gris, 5% Muscat Blanc
Waterbrook Sangiovese Rose 2007, Walla Walla Valley
2007 Sharecropper's Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley
2005 Yellow Hawk Cellar Sangiovese, Walla Walla Valley 89% Sangiovese, 10% Syrah, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon
With Red Meat:
2005 Fidelitas Semillon Columbia Valley
2007 Saint Laurent Syrah Rose Columbia Valley 80% Syrah, 15% Riesling, 5% Chardonnay
2006 Terrapin Cellars Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
2006 Desert Wind Ruah Columbia Valley 44% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc
